Tobacco product use is an unhealthy practice not only for users, but also for those in close proximity to users and the environment. Plymouth Parks & Recreation is committed to improving the quality of life for all residents, young and old, and has therefore adopted a tobacco-free policy that states: "No person shall use tobacco products on city-owner property, park facilities, open space or joint city/school district properties, except within the confines of a vehicle in a designated parking area." To help ensure the health and well being of our community and reduce the negative effect that tobacco use can have on the lifestyle choices of our youth, we ask for your voluntary compliance of this policy. |
IMPORTANT NOTE TO ALL
COACHES AND PLAYERS:
Please remember to clean up after all games and
practices. This includes tape, sports bottles, snack wrappers, etc. that are
being left behind at the fields. Park use is a privilege - we don't
want to lose it for leaving garbage behind! We have been receiving
complaints and need to do a better job on this. THANK YOU!

Coaches
Are Essential to the
Success
of PSA!
You can’t beat the feeling of satisfaction and excitement when you see the look of success and happiness on the face of a child when they have made their first completed pass or scored their first goal. Each team needs at least one coach (preferably two) in place before a team can be formed.
Last year, we had over 320 coaches, and still had leagues that needed coaches. Don’t let a child be denied an opportunity to play soccer! Volunteer to coach today!
- What should I expect if I sign up to coach?
- Coaching Clinics: Specific, age appropriate training provided for each and every level.

PSA offers various training opportunities for the new coach and the experienced coach. Coaching clinics are offered for all levels of experience.
Each team will also receive videos, books and practice planners to provide you with as many tools as you need.
Can a friend and I coach together?
Absolutely! Fill out your registration form with the name of your friend and we will build a team around your child and your friend’s child.
If you have additional questions please come to the PSA Open House or call the PSA hotline and leave a message on the coaches voice mail box at 651-………

Recreational Soccer
Recreational Soccer is designed for the beginning or developing player who is looking for a relaxed atmosphere to have fun while sharpening individual skills and learning more about the game. Newcomers to soccer are welcome at any age. Younger age groups play fun games while learning about soccer. Parent involvement is highly recommended. Recreational teams only play other PSA teams.
The soccer fields in our community are a fabulous resource. As with any of our natural resources, we must be prudent in their use. Our soccer fields continue to be scheduled and re-scheduled, and finally over-scheduled until the grass gives way to dirt and the rain turns the dirt to mud. Despite the best efforts of the City of Plymouth and the various school districts involved to maintain the available resources, the demands placed on these facilities overtake even the most meticulous of caretaking programs. Many other “green space” organizations (e.g., baseball, softball, football, rugby and lacrosse, etc.) use the community’s field resources. The pressure on our fields is all based on hours of play per facility. The truth be known, our green space is repeatedly over-scheduled to the point of exhaustion!
Plymouth Soccer Association is doing something about it! About two years ago, the PSA Board of Directors voted to dedicate a portion of the receipts of our various soccer programs to the upkeep and improvement of targeted soccer fields. The first major project was to donate over $7500 towards the installation of an irrigation system at Kimberly Lane Elementary. Having been shut down for two seasons to complete the work, Kimberly Lane will be back on-line for the summer 2002 season. This past summer, PSA worked with the City of Plymouth in obtaining a “Mighty Kicks” grant from the state and allocated over $10,000 to the Greenwood Elementary Renovation Project. This will result in four new soccer fields being available for the 2003 season.
Additional projects are in the works. In cooperation with School District 284, Plymouth/Wayzata Football and Wayzata Soccer Club, PSA has contributed funds to install new lighting at Central Middle School Stadium Field. The new lighting system is installed and functional and will be available for the 2002 season. Other projects under consideration include enhancements at Ridgemount Playfield, Plymouth Creek Elementary and on-going improvements to Plymouth Creek Playfield.
PSA’s goal is to improve the safety and the quality of the
soccer experience at each and every facility for each and every player.
